Varied motivations for secondary forest reclearing among landholders make forest persistence challenging

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote sensing studies show that ephemeral forest regeneration is widespread in the tropics, limiting the climate and biodiversity benefits from net increases in forest cover. Socioeconomic, biophysical and landscape variables can help explain the spatial distribution of reforestation reversals.

Bamboo shoots (1)

open access: yes, 2015
What are bamboo shoots? Bamboo shoots are young bamboo stems (culms). They are very nutritious and have been eaten as a vegetable for thousands of years in many Asian countries.

Synergistic Effect of Silanized Ramie Fiber and Montmorillonite Clay on the Mechanical, Thermal, and Dynamic‐Mechanical Properties of Polyester Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Multiscale composite reinforced with silane‐modified ramie fiber and clay. ABSTRACT Multiscale polymer composites combining natural fibers and layered silicates can balance stiffness, toughness, and thermal stability when interfacial interactions are properly engineered.

Mechanical, Thermal, and Microstructural Evaluation of Bio‐Based Polyurethane Composites Reinforced With Woven Jute and Flax

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Graphical overview of the manufacturing and characterization of bio‐based polyurethane composites reinforced with woven jute and flax fibers produced by the VARTM process. Mechanical, thermal, and microstructural analyses reveal differences in stiffness, thermal stability, and interfacial behavior between the natural fiber composites.

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Méthodes d'assemblage de bambous utilisées en Extrême-Orient pour la récolte de palmiers à huile de haute taille [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Lorsque les palmiers atteignent une hauteur de 8 m, une perche de récolte constituée d'une seule tige de bambou ne permet plus d'atteindre commodément les couronnes ; il faut alors assembler 1 ou 2 rallonges supplémentaires.

Structural characterization and optimum machining parameters of jute/carbon fibre hybrid reinforced epoxy composite laminates

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Hybrid jute/carbon epoxy laminates have better mechanical performance and less drilling damage by the use of optimized stacking sequence and machining parameters. Abstract Three composite laminate systems were produced using the standard hand lay‐up method: jute‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (JFRP), carbon‐fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a hybrid of the

Effects of 60Co-γ radiation on the growth and physiological characteristics of two dwarf bamboos

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences
The control of height has been one of the main problems limiting the popularization and application of dwarf bamboos for a long time. The objective of this study was to investigate the dwarfing mechanism of dwarf bamboo through radiation mutagenesis ...
